About OPie

OPie is a radial action-binding addon: it lets you group actions into rings which appear when you hold down a keyboard or mouse binding. When you release the binding, OPie will perform an action based on where your mouse cursor is.

Use OPie to reduce the amount of clutter on your action bars: rings can contain your abilities, items, professions, battle pets, equipment sets, macros, and raid or world markers. Some rings for common class abilities and professions are included, as is a special quest items ring which automatically makes all of your quest and quest-starting items easily accessible. Other addons may add additional rings; for example, Spade uses OPie rings to let you chose the seeds you want to plant on your farm.

Ring snapshots and tutorial/gameplay videos

You can create snapshots of your custom rings to share with other players; if you like, you can post them in the comments section on this page. Likewise, if you've created a video showing how you use OPie, I would very much like to hear about it.

Absolutely love the addon. A friend told me about ths one back in BC days or WoTLK, one of the 2, but i just never felt the need for it. Now that I have rerolled a druid, I have found it to be INvaluable for shapeshift forms. However, when I am in BGs, (obviously) the flight form icon isnt there, but it is replaces with one of my mounts, is there anyway to change which mount is opened by this?

You should edit the macro used for that slice to explicitly refer to your preferred ground mount. The default version of the slice uses {{mount:ground}}, which OPie replaces with the first ground mount it finds in your collection.

Just posting a reply to say that I've used this addon since Curse had it spotlighted on the main page and it has been a GREAT help to me. I use it on each of my characters and it really saves me time in raids.

I'd like to make a ring for hunter/lock pet abilities, but I don't see pet abilities in the "Abilities" list. I figured I could just make a custom macro for it, but it won't let me shift-click pet abilities into the macro. Help!

Hi I use OmniCC with OPie, I noticed that whenever I open OPie now with OmniCC it doesn't show the numbers on it anymore. Instead it shows a blank area and the space left till the item is ready to be used? What is wrong with it? Is it the new blizzard UI?

You need to enable the Numeric cooldowns option found in the Appearance section of /opie options.

(For technical reasons, OmniCC does not actually work with OPie -- it never has. The cooldown numbers you're thinking of are provided by OPie; they've been disabled by default since a recent update added the cooldown spiral to the default skin.)

Just wanted to say, I really like the new spec specific option. As with any new option, it is the duty of us to challenge you to perfect said option. I'm wondering a couple things. First, would it be possible to have this as a checkbox option rather than drop-down? If i want a spell for only 1 spec, as a druid, I have to drop the menu down 4 times (including the general option) to seclude it to my Guardian spec. This would be oh so much simpler with checkboxes, and I could uncheck said boxes.

Secondly, I wonder if it's possible to have a similar option for stances. For this, let me back up a little. I use your addon almost like a bar replacement. I have a separate key for 5 different mini bars (which I use frequently, even though this was intended for rare use) Buffs, CDs, CC, etc. Some spells I only want to use in Cat Form, when i'm in Moonkin spec. (i.e. "Prowl"), but I'd like to use the same ring for my Starfall CD, let's say. Anyway, thought I'd throw those ideas out there, if you're not thinking about them already.

The dropdown shouldn't close when you alter its value in Kiwi 4, which should remove most of the excessive clicks in the scenario you describe. The dropdown itself is probably staying for the foreseeable future - I like that it takes up a constant amount of space no matter how many specs your class has.

Things are slowly moving toward allowing conditional slice visibility, but it'll be a while yet before it happens. Until then, you can achieve the same effect by creating multiple variants of a single ring and using conditional bindings to open the right one: for instance, you could bind different rings to the same hotkey depending on which druid form you're in, whether you're in stealth, wheather your target is friendly, etc.

I've noticed that using the macro method for triggering OPie ("/click ORLOpen FlyingMounts") ignores the normal "Press button to open, release to select" functionality of OPie. Is there a way to change that, or have I missed something?

This can't be done at the moment. The difficulty lies in that most action bars will only execute the macro once -- either when you press the action bar button, or when you release it; while OPie's press/release mechanics require it to be triggered on both events.
